I definitely intend to create my own work in the future so that we don't have to keep saying we don't have work for black women. But right now I don't know what's next. I hope that there are more opportunities to come my way.

You can’t eat beauty. It doesn’t feed you.

I have always loved children. I've been fantasizing about motherhood since I was probably 2 ½. I loved to babysit my cousins, and nieces, you know.

Happiness is the most important thing.

Even in my dreams of being an actor, my dream was not in the celebrity. My dream was in the work that I wanted to do.

No matter where you're from, your dreams are valid.

I do my best work when I feel conviction to say something through the character I play. Always I want to have integrity and not compromise that.
